just a little teaser for a TV show im invovled in making.
we were a bit all fatigued by all the fishing shows on tv "down here in melb there is a real abundance of them" and we wanted to do a show featuring boats a bit more
we all enjoy working on and with boats"some of us are in the industry" and thought it would be fun and nice to make a show showing how to deck out a boat.. "with a few other interesting tid bits to the show"
think.. pimp my ride... but better and less xhibit

very open to sugestions for things you would like to see and NOT see on our show

Another show? you referring to that show that is nothing more than an infomercial for a tackle chain and tackle manufacturer??????? Oh yeah they are all just ads and promos for gear not a lot of actual fishing in it.

i just had to have a google of him...............he .......liked to talk

[CATchin'Em]

I can't wait to see this cm sounds like it will be a good educational show. I like learning the way everyone does different things, it can only improve knowledge. From what I have come across mainly electrical wiring and sealing, and a big mention every show on using tefgel or duralac or similar product to insulate stainless screws in aluminium (my one pet hate with tinnys).

I'm surprised Chris Conroy is still about making videos.
I met him in 1986 whilst doing work experience at an Ultralight aircraft builder. He was into aircraft as well as boats. Nice guy but loved to talk. LOL

I personally would watch any fishing/boating show if it did NOT have a couple of things... An annoying host that repeats a phrase over and over, and if it featured unbiased opinions and tests on anything, I know there is sponsors to keep happy, but the current crop of shows are just too over the top when it comes to brand exposure (in my opinion) I very rarely watch a show these days, the minute some "host" appears in a sponsors shirt, says the sponsors name 20 times on every sentence, or keeps saying... stop the bus, I love your work, wooohoooo, or viss and vat instead of this and that, I just change channels.

I forgot Chris Conroy, he was probably in a way a pioneer in this sort of show, along with Ron Calcutt they were way ahead of their times, they were making fishing shows long before most of the current ones were even born, with quite heavy and cumbersome equipment, and pretty mundane boats and shock horror, 2 stroke outboards, the brand of which was never mentioned, and quite frankly, no one cared about.

Great idea moose would love to see a show with useful information on it like the wicked fishing dvds where you can actually put the information into practice. Good luck

yeah we felt the same. we were sick of it being a case of "you cant possibly catch fish without a shimano bla bla bla" we were sick of watching "and sponsoring" shows that ballooned egos more than ......were half decent to watch, we were sick of people taking liberties with production value because its "just a fishing show". and sick of endless waffle and 5 minutes if winding in a rod...

thankfully with our show sponsorship is very tight and under our own discretion. being we are fortunate to be doing a show where we can sell the final product to recoup costs for production we aren't really looking for any on screen sponsors. and being we have to sell the boat(s) there are 2.. an alloy tinny and a 20ft glass boat. we cant really plaster them up with stickers anyway.

the show somewhat follows a narrative...where if the viewer tunes in week in week out they receive the full story. however if you just flick to the show from time to time, it will still prove enjoyable "We hope!"
the show features kinda a tier system. we arnt doing a bush mechanic show, showing the cheapest way to do something only. there will be cheap mods. not so cheap mods and stuff we think few people have ever attempted. you dont have to replicate our boats but people might take away little bits from here and there for their own boats

showing people how to buy boats

showing some funny stuff "we filmed a score card scene at a local boat ramp recently"

https://www.facebook.com/tvdeckedout <-link to a sort of announcement page

there will be a "your boat" segment pre commercial break. if anyone wants to have their boat featured let us know

Moose

[deckie]

Good luck with it.
I miss Ron Calcutt and Big Rod Harrison fishing on the swifty seagull.
No plugs for some stoopid new marketing trick from a tackle company hoping to jag a dimwit angler.
No bullshit.
Excellent 70's porno music.
Unspoilt localities along the coast, with nobody whinging about how the ramp isnt 100% perfect with 9mill spent on dunnies for women and pretty landscaping and effortless parking.
Beer in steel cans and lots of it.
No parking cops, rangers, assorted sherriffs and fun police employed to ruin your fun and collect those indirect taxes they charge on top of the other taxes.
Penn 6/0 Senators loaded with 50 mono None of that girly braid shit.

Will it be like that Moose ?

[chocolatemoose]

hahaha i remember meeting harro at the melbourne boat show in the early 90s as a kid. i remember for a man who fished timor and PNG and up north.. he......ehhh, liked sweating a lot.

i wasnt arround in an older capacity when these shows where on but ive made up for it recently.
but yeah we hope to have it come out good

[Giffo65]

Great idea Moose, a section for people that have done their own mods, or even built their own boat from scratch.How to fibreglass and gelcoat would be good.I need to learn this as I have some work to do on my old tub.I did like the old bertram they did a pod addition to on one of the better fishing shows of late.A hostess with bolt ons would not go astray either, just do not give her a microphone.As other have said, the infomercials fishing shows are really bad.
